Pursue Strong!

Pursue StrongAnyone with me?!

It’s just what I say to myself to take the pressure off & focus on what makes me FEEL good.

If trying to be “skinny”, a certain size, or have amazing abs is too much pressure, then focus on fuel & strength. Then WORK IT! You’ll be happier & the rest will fall into place over time.

Feel free to share w/friends or family that want encouragement.

Lift and Never Stop

/in , , /by

LiftWho’s lifting & who’s NOT yet?

Don’t wait to lose the weight first.

Don’t pick up the light weights for fear of bulking up.

Start strength training now & never stop.

Lifting increases your metabolism, improves your shape like nothing else (& I mean NOTHING ELSE) can. It improves bone density, improves your mood, fixes imbalances, helps avoid injury due to weaknesses, & relieves stress. Just to name a few!

What are you working on?

Flexibility WorkWHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON?

If you’re too focused on the scale, you’re going to miss a lot of the fun in getting fit! Focus on performance, strength, nutrition that fuels you, energy, & flexibility goals. The rest will fall into place.

And yes, I know my shoulders & back are desperately needing better flexibility. Workin on it.

 

 

Push Press

/in , , /by

Push PressWhen you have a lower body injury, sometimes you have to get creative to get your heart rate up to get intense cardio in.

Quick, explosive push presses (with lighter weight but heavy enough that sets of 25-30 reps each are challenging) are a great way to increase your heart rate during a circuit or HIIT. Incorporate these with other things you can do like intervals of ab work, push-ups, elliptical, spin bike–depends on your injury.

I use 20lbs on each side of the bar & aim for 25 reps in one minute.

In my HIIT workouts, I usually end up doing 4 sets among the other intervals.
